Hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians are evacuating and at least 200 homes have been destroyed as a series of wildfires ravages the region. Here’s how to help the residents, first responders, and animals in need.

How to Help Evacuees

“With disasters such as these, local organizations like your local homeless shelter, animal shelter, or food bank are always good ones to donate to,” says Sara Nason, of Charity Navigator. The Ventura County Commission Foundation has set up a Disaster Relief Fund (which disperses money to nonprofits it feels can best serve the community), and the Ventura County Star has a list of school drives accepting donations. The nonprofits Food Forward and LA Kitchen are delivering fresh food to displaced residents.

She also advises donating to wildlife preservation societies and support charities.

If you’re an evacuee, U-Haul is offering free 30-day storage to wildfire victims, and Facebook has set up a Crisis Response Page that connects victims with people nearby who can offer housing, clothing, or other resources. And YouCaring has created a landing page for people in need.

How to Help Firefighters

Firefighters are in need of Drip Drop, a powdered supplement that “helps keep them hydrated and avoid IV drips under these grueling conditions,” according to one local, who suggests purchasing them on Amazon or at Walgreens, and having them delivered to the Oxnard Fire Department, Ventura City Fire Department, and the Ventura County Fire Department.

How to Help Animals

The Humane Society of Ventura County is accepting donations through their website and has set up an Amazon registry. Representatives told NBC “they have enough food and water for animals and people, but they need Alfalfa hay to feed horses, burrows and alpacas.”
